This application displays the results of the rough-cut capacity plan generated by the Generate Rough-Cut Capacity Plan process. Use this inquiry to view key resource capacity and load by week and drill down to see the source of the load.
You can select plans by MPS plan code, as well as specify a cutoff date.
You can view the capacity plan for a single key resource, all key resources for a single resource type, or for all key resources for a company/warehouse.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, the master production schedule plan code whose capacity plan you want to see. The default plan code, “P”, represents the current official production schedule. All other plan codes are used for "what-if" scenarios
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a key resource ID to include in the results. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to filter the results by key resource ID.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a key resource type to include in the results. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to filter the results by key resource type.
Enter an ending date to filter capacity plan data on. Weekly periods ending past this cutoff date are not included.
Select whether you want to see results sorted first by week-ending date or by key resource ID.
Select this checkbox to include forecasted demand load in the capacity plan.
If you do not select this checkbox, load calculations will include firm independent demand requirements (i.e., sales orders and reservations) only.
Only rows that have load identified for a given key resource/week display in this window.
Load figures for a key resource are summed up into weekly numbers. The end of the week is determined by the Ending Day Of Production Week value in the MRP Report Print Options screen. Costpoint sums all load occurring after one week’s ending period date but equal to or before the next week’s period end date.
The current week may include less than a full number of days. For instance, if the end of week day is Friday, and today is Thursday, load scheduled to be consumed for today and tomorrow is grouped in a row with tomorrow as the end date. Past-due requirements are ignored in rough-cut capacity planning.
This field displays the ID of the key resource (typically equipment, personnel, work center, or vendor) referenced on the row.
This field displays the description of the key resource.
This percentage highlights how load for the key resource relates to the resource's capacity. The load for that week/key resource is divided by the key resource capacity for that week. Costpoint calculates this percentage.
This field displays the capacity, in the key resource's unit of measure, of the key resource during the specified week. For example, the weekly capacity could be 30 hours per week. This figure is maintained in the Key Resources screen in the MPS or Routings module.
This field displays the key resource's unit of measure, such as hours, specified on the Key Resources screen.
The total demand is the sum of the production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, from sales order demand, reservation demand, and forecast demand (if you select the Include Forecast Demand checkbox) for the row’s key resource and week.
This field displays the sum of production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, driven by sales order demand requirements for a given key resource/week.
This field displays the sum of production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, driven by inventory reservation demand requirements for a given key resource/week.
This field displays the sum of production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, driven by sales and UDF forecast demand requirements for a given key resource/week. If you do not select the Include Forecast Demand checkbox, this column displays zeros.
This field displays the key resource's assigned resource type. These codes are set up in the Resource Types screen in the MPS and Routings modules.
